Yeah, you're welcome for the advice from all us common sense folk.
Hate to say it, but I told you so.
Also, if that is the matching block, it's a GOOD quality block. If the cylinder walls are pitting, you'll want take it to a Machinist to get cleaned up before storing it, or sell it to someone that will. The heads probably aren't special, but if original, are matching.
Good job on being responsible.
